Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: Rising Real Earnings Growth Raises Concerns at Bank of England
- An unexpectedly weaker decline in the pace of wage increases has led to real earnings growth reaching its highest level in nearly two and a half years when considering inflation, according to the latest official data.
- Recent official figures indicate that average regular pay without bonuses was at 6% in the three months to February compared to the previous year.
- The broader ONS statistics revealed an increase in the UK's unemployment rate from 3.9% to 4.2%, with caution due to ongoing efforts to enhance the reliability of employment data.
- The forthcoming inflation data expected on Wednesday is likely to demonstrate further progress towards the Bank's objectives and the potential for a decrease from the current 5.25% interest rate.

Quick Glance: S&P 500: Potential Downside Risk with Nasdaq 100 in Peril (Technical Analysis)
- The S&P 500 may be facing potential downside risk, with a deep decline possibly unfolding in stages, with the Nasdaq 100 potentially being the last to be affected.
- In the era of 'buying the dip,' there is a chance that a decline could occur gradually or swiftly, or it could even be a false alarm.
- As a risk manager, it is more important to assess the risks of different market segments and position accordingly, rather than speculate on market movements.
- The primary goal is to avoid being affected by market-changing sell-offs, and adjusting the portfolio to address the current market risks is crucial.
